Proposal for Garneau Cooperative |
by Allen Young
Acow sof’: A “student: is
suggesting that the university
owned North Garneau
residential area be turned into a
student housing co-operative.
Colin Mackenzie, a fifth
year anthropology student, has
submitted a position paper to the
North Garneau Housing Com-
mittee (NGHC) which advocates
the establishment of a co-op
which would allow students to
directly participate in the ad-
. ministration of the North Gar-
neau housing community.
His paper would give the
responsibility.for the formation
of administrative policy in North
Garneau to an elected student
board of directors.
Presently North Garneau is
administered by the North Gar-
neau. Housing Committee
(NGHOC), in co-ordination with
the North Garneau Housing
Office. These bodies are under
the control of ‘the university
planning and development office
and Board of Governors.
The proposed co-operative
would be granted the right to
establish specific policy.in regard
‘to the allocation of housing and
in relation to evictions and
appeals so long as such policy is
within ‘a framework of general
principles of tenacy approved by
the Board of Governors.
The University North Gar-
neau Housing Office would
collect rents, handle the issuance
of eviction notices in the name of
the co-op, handle inquiries regar-
ding the availability of housing,
and administer fees levied to run
the organization. Basically, ac-
cording to Mackenzie’s
proposal, it would administer the
administrative policies establish-
ed by the student co-op. The
co-op would also have a liason
committe, which would deal with
general principles relating to
North Garneau. Mackenzie’s
proposal recognizes that the
university has a number of
genuine interests in North Gar-
neau, such as the amounts of
rents to be charged, future plans
for the area, landscaping, and the
maintenance of the houses. But
the interests of the university are
related’ to. general principles
father than specific policies, says
the position paper.
The paper argues “there is a
decided lack of social cohesion in
North Garneau” which was not
the case before the university
took over the direct administra-
tion.of the community. |
It says the present . ad-
ministrative structure involving
the North Garneau Housing
Office, and senior university

committees is ineffective in
presenting tenant concerns to the
university administration, and is
administratively clumsy. :

mistrust between the tenants and
university administration.

Human rights association calls university
TOEFL requirements discriminatory
by Don McIntosh.
The Alberta Human Rights
and Civil Liberties Association
has condemned the U of A’s
English language proficiency test -
as discriminatory.
In a letter to U of A
president Harry Gunning, the
Association said the requirement
“unfairly discriminates. against
people on the basis of their -
national origin or race.”
It urged the university to
replace the requirement.
_» The Association did not
‘ix
~~ condemn the requirements out-
right. They said if the university .
feels such tests are necessary, the
same tests should be applied to
all applicants.
Last year, Mr. W. Burns,
secretary of the admissions
reuqirements committee, said
the section of the calendar which
states all non-native speakers of -
English be required to take the
TOEFL test was not contrary to
human rights.
“This -
calendar) does not in any way
discriminate as to citizenship or
statement (in the
place of origin. It simply es-
tablishes the university's inten-
tion to examine any applicant,
native born Canadian. or
otherwise, if there is doubt that
he or she has native fluency in the
language of instruction. This
does not, of course, mean that
the university will test all
applicants for native fluency,
that would be uneconomic and
unnecessary.

‘Burns are out of town until the
end of the week and could not be

_ establishment
employed in North Garneau was
not originally designed with co-
‘operative housing in mind, and
claims it is an ineffective and
not the most just way of handling
co-op housing.
It argues the most effective
means of resolving the dif-
ficulties would be for the Board
of Governors to permit ths
of a_ student-
administered housing co-op.
The proposal suggests the
lack of social cohesion is because
of a high rate of transience
resulting from the forced depar-
ture of the non-student residents
and ineffective procedures for
the allocation of housing.
Though the report refuses to
reopen for debate the issue of
non-students living in North
Garneau, it argues the allocation
of housing in the community is
ineffective because of a “buddy
system” that has developed,
ironically, specifically out of
university policies designed in
the past to prevent favoratism.
Groups of tenants seeking ©
an entire house are favored over
individuals seeking single rooms
because of a ‘waiting. fist.and
non-existent advertising, says
the report.
Existing -tenant
organizations cannot be ex-
pected to solve this problem
because they are generally only
quasi legal and issue oriented,
having no day-to-day activities,
says the position paper.
Colin Mackenzie has been
involved with co-op housing at
the U_of A and is presently the
Garneau tenants’ representative
to the NGHC.
Hohol stands firm
by Don McIntosh ;
Dr. Bert Hohol did not say
if tuition fees will rise by ten per
cent this year.
But at the Friday meeting
with the Federation of Alberta
Students (FAS), the minister of
advanced education said an
annual 10 per cent fee increase is
part of government policy, and is’
something he would like to con-
tinue.
He also said an increase. in

student Cost Committee which
was formed last month to in-
vestigate the tuition question and
report its findings within one

Brian Mason, FAS ex-
ecutive officer, argued it was
unfair to raise tuition fees before
the committee completed its
study.
the meeting,
Mason told: Gateway Dr. _ announced its campaign to fight eae
‘Hohol said if the committee’s
recommendations are contrary
to government policy, its report
would be disregarded.
David Rand, SU executive
vp, and FAS executive member,
said he was left with the impres-
sion that Dr. Hohol was saying
there will be at least a 10 per cent
increase in tuition fees next year.
According to Rand,~ Dr.
Hohol justified a rise in fees by,
referring to the rising cost of
housing, transportation and
food, and indicated tuition fees
-should follow the same pattern.
“Dr. Hohol recognized that
job availability for students is.
down 15 per cent from last year
and that students must pay the’

Gunning to step down

Dr. Harry Gunning has
indicated he will not seek
another term as president of the
University.
Gunning’s present term will
expire June 30, 1979. Mr. Gun-
ning announced his decision at
the January 6 meeting of the
Board of Governors (B of G); the
notice was given at that early
date to allow the U of A enough
time to select a new president.
The B of G fills the position
of president by appointment
based on the recommendations
of a search and selection com-
mittee which includes represen-
tatives of the B of G, the General
Faculties Council, the Students’
Union, the Graduate Students’
Association.
They are'likely to make their
decision early in 1979 so the B of
G can make the final selection
before President Gunning’s term
expires, said U. of A Public
Relations officer Barbara La
Croix.
Gunning was initially ap-
pointed for a five year term in

Forums with GENE THOMAS — Boulder, Colorado

Despite pleas from Cana-
dian Labour Congress president
Joe Morris, the Alberta Federa-
tion of Labour has rejected
tripartism.
At the AFL convention
Friday Morris argued for more
than an hour why the regional
federations should support
tripartism, a system which has
been adopted in several western
European countries.
Tripartism is a_ proposal
outlined in the CLC Labour
manifesto which would set up a
committee of representatives of
business, labour and the federal
government to handle contract
negotiations and cooperative in
the development of Canadian
economic strategies.
But after the issue was
debated on the convention floor,
it was rejected by a narrow
margin of 279 to 220.
AFL © president Harry
Kostiuk also argued in favor of
the concept, which was first
introduced in May of 1976 at the
‘CLC convention in Quebec city.
In his one hour speech to the
convention, Morris argued the
labor movement had to build up .
its power as
national force.
“We've been committed to
business unionism, sacrificing
power we should have had at the
national level.
“What we win at the
bargaining table, we lose in the
legislatures and parliament.” he
said.
He said that labor had
been unable to defeat wage
controls because it was weakest
a centralized
_ ment.
at the national level, where the
‘collective muscle’ was needed
most.
He then argued that such
national power could best be
brought ‘to bear through a
tripartide coalition between
business, labor, and the govern-
It is only through sucha
coalition, he said, that ‘the
weakness and vulnerability of
the congress can be ended.’
Critics of the proposal say
tripartism is-a threat to the
parliamentary system of govern-
ment and to the independence of
‘the labor movement.
“Tripar tide proposals have
always represented an attempt to
co-opt labor movements into
high level discussions which do
not threaten the domigant power
of corporations and govern-
Federal labour minister
urges business to support
tripartism
by Don McIntosh
Federal Minister of Labor
John Munroe used his discussion
of the U.S. government’s
withdrawal from the _Inter-
national Labor Organization to
urge continued cooperation
- between Canada’s economic sec-
tors.
In a speech delivered to the
International Advisory Com-
mittee of the Canadian Business
and Industry association last
month, Monroe said he was
“saddened” by president Carter’s
decision to leave the U.N. labor
organization.
He’ ‘said Canada would
likely continue its support of the
ILO because it felt the ILO
principles were sound and he
urged business leaders to reaf-
firm their support.
“We should stay in the ILO
and prove that the democratic
and free societies offer the best
hope for all mankind.”
The U.S. served a two year
notice of withdrawal because it
resented the fact many ILO
delegates use the annual conven-
tion as a forum for political
debate.
Monroe said the ILO was
having its difficulties but urged
Canadians “not to abandon the
ILO to those who would misuse
the rules.”
His discussion of the ILO
issue was a stepping stone to a
discussion of cooperation and
consultation as a model for
Canadian industrial relations.
He said he was frustrated by
the unwillingness of business and
labour to adopt a policy of
consultation rather than con-
frontation. Especially since both
groups are represented on
Canada’s ILO delegation, and
have seen the benefits of con-
sultation in the developed Euro-
pean states. _
Despite his frustration,
Monroe was optimistic there
would bea change in this attitude
of confrontation.
He credited the wage and
price control program for mak-
ing this change possible.
Monroe said he feared the
erosion of support within the
labour movement for the Cana-
dian Labour Congress’ support
of cooperation between govern-
ment, labor, and business.

editorial
: 2 ~ Labour leaders
Parasitic
The original function of labour unions was to protect the
workers from the horrid and exploitative working conditions
under which they existed. Keeping 12 years olds from working
14 hours a day in poorly lighted facilities was an honorable and,
indeed, democratic service. But such functions, in Canada at
least, are long since obsolete.
Today we have the grand causes of the labour Unions
including such essentials as: birthday’s off, a week off for the
death of a relative, triple-time overtime, and increased
holidays, all with pay. As it now stands, Canada’s productivity
to output ratio is notimpressiveand is declining. Investment in
_ this country, regardless of the Quebec situation is becoming
negligible. Why should investment dollars be fed into this
country only to be skimmed off by the parasitic labour union
leaders. It is for this reason that I stand behind Syncrude
~Canada’s decision to operate its plant without a union.
The outcry against this “challenge of the workers” is not
made by the workers themselves who are damn glad to get ajob
such as the one at the Syncrude plant during this time of high
unemployment, but rather by those Union leaders who see
good carrion being lost. Thus the government is called
“repressive” and “a bed partner for big business.”
The hypocrisy of the Labour Unions is evident in the very
basis of their purpose as well as in almost every statement their
leaders make. These Unions demand “the right of workers to
join a union of their choice to represent them at the bargaining
table.” Their concern for the average worker is very touching.
But what about the employee who does not want the heavy
breath of the Union on his neck, nor their “benefits” nor their
union “literature”? In a closed-shop this “right of the workers
to join a union of their choice” simply does not exist, and it is
not the fault of the “enemy” as some unions call the employer
but rather because of the repressive nature of the union itself.
If there is anything worse than a politician, it is a politician
‘who moon-lights as a labour union spokesman. This is Grant
Notley in a nutshell. His back-scratching support of the unions
is so blatantly obvious that only a union delegate could fail to
see its basic contradiction.
‘I do not place the blame for Canada’s economic woes
entirely upon Joe Worker or the Union which represents him.
- But the wheel has turned full circle and it is no longer the
employer who controls the wages and conditions of employ-
ment, but rather the worker, through unions, who controls the
employer. In order for Canada to compete economically in the
world, she must earn her keep and, in order to do this, there
must be some control upon the-wages and productivity of all
workers. The self-regulating machine.of supply and demand is
no more evident than in an area where competition exists. Each
worker must be responsible for his own actions and poor
productivity cannot be excused by the protective wings of the
Labour Unions. I do not condemn the individual worker but
only suggest each man be paid according to his worth; no more
nor less.
The exorbitant demands of the labour Unions will only
serve to further compound Canada’s current economic chaos. I
find the smell of the labour “movement” disgusting and their
_ self-serving parasitic leaders equally so. If their misguided aims
_could be written off as naivety, it wouldn’t be so bad, but the
calculating manner in which their greed operates, at the
expense of all workers, must be revealed to all; be they union-
member, student or housewife. a

Israel colonialist state
The
Canadian Zionist
Federation’s “Israel Week” is
presenting a picture of Israel and
Zionism that hides the facts. We
would like to expose several
facets of the Israeli state that
show its true nature, that of the
colonial-settler state established
at the expense of the original
inhabitants, the Palestinian peo-
ple.
Vast new Arab territories
have been appropriated through
the various wars waged by Israel
since the partition of Palestine by
the U.N. in 1947. This is blatant
proof that the war “fought for
defensive purposes only” as
Israel said then, is yet another
way of forcibly implementing
expansionism.
Since the military occupa-
tion of the Sinai, the Gaza Strip,
and the west bank of the Jordan,
a different look at the “plight of
the Jewish people fighting for
their homeland” should be given
by the apologists of the Israeli
state. In our minds, Israel’s
behaviour towards the Arab
masses it holds under its heel
hasn’t changed much since 1947
when an Irgun commando
massacred the 254 inhabitants of
the village of Deir Yassin, so as
to insure a future state with a
homogeneous Jewish “popula-
{iON} 6x"
The Zionists expelled some
700,000. Palestinians in the
course of establishing the state.
During and after the 67 was,
500,000 Palestinians were driven
from the newly occupied
territory.
Discrimination against the
Palestinians is shown by the
following facts: 1) in 1970, the
average per capita income of
Arabs inside Israel’s pre-’67
borders was. only 40% of that of
Jews; and 2) in 1973, while 25%
of Israel’s Arab population lived
four or more to a room, the
corresponding figure for the
Jewish population was 1.5%.
Discrimination is so
thorough that large Arab towns
are officially classified as villages
in order to minimize the amount
of public money that they are
eligible to receive. The Zionist
regime also systematically denies
new building permits for houses
in Arab villages. In Jewish! »wns
hundreds of apartment: are
empty, but Arabs are forbidden
to move there.
Supporters of Zionism
describe resistance of the Arab
majority to this colonial enter-
prise. as “anti-Semitic.” We'd
simply like to emphasize that it is
the reactionary politics of
Zionism — not that the policies
are carried out by Jews — that
has provoked the struggle in
Palestine.
Therefore we consider the
“Israel Week” and its glorifica-
tion of the results of Zionist
colonization as a painful stab in
the back of the rights of the
Palestinian people, in that it
carries with it the seeds of
colonialism sown by the Israeli
state. The roots of war, con-
sistently watered by Zionist
oppression in Palestine, will only
be pulled the day the demands of
the Palestinian masses are
satisfied.
- compensation for the land
and property that were taken
from them.
- the right to return to their
former home. ;
- the right to self d2te:mina-
tion.
- the establishment of a
democratic secular Palestine in
which Jews and Arabs can live
together.

THE GATEWAY, Tuesday, January 24, 1978.
Criticism of coverange answered
When I began university, in
September of 1976, I was bom-
barded. with stories of student
“apathy. it seemed that (some) U
of A students were not interested
in forthcoming elections, fee
hikes, discrimination against
fellow students, nor. anything
else that concerned university life
(besides beer, that is). As a
consequence, | decided that to
try to combat this apathy I must
first begin with myself. One of
the way I hoped to accomplish
this task, I decided, was to read
The Gateway since its function is
to relay and promote student
activities on campus. In this way
I felt I would surely be kept up to
date. However, after reading The
Gateway for a year and a half, I
can only say that I am disap-
pointed. Rather than being
enlightened by the newspaper, |
feel more like a picture, in a
darkroom, waiting to be
developed
Since J am an education
student I pay particular attention
to what is happening in my own
faculty. In this respect, I find that
either there is some promotion of
an event and little follow up of
what actually transpired, or
there is no mention of the event,
but there is a follow up story. In
either instance, the student is no
more informed as. to what is
happening on campus than he
was before he read the article.
For example, just before the
Christmas: break there. was an
article in The Gateway saying
that the SU Council had
accepted the Education Ex-
ecutive’s challenge and were
donating «$100. What was this
challenge and what was the
purpose of it? | remember no
mention of such a challenge in
the newspaper before this accep-
tance statement was put in by the
SU Council. Also, couldn’t the
Education Executive’s article
concerning applications for VP
Publicity receive better attention
than the second to last page of
Thursday’s issue (January 5,
1978)? Shouldn’t a local issue,
which can be potentially in-
teresting to approximately 5,000.
studénts, one quarter of the
entire student ‘body, take
precedence over something that
happened on another campus or
in another country?
The question I want to ask
now is, who’s fault is this? Is the
Education Executive not submit-
ting the information to your
office on time so that you may
cover the story? Or does The
Gateway choose to ignore such
trivia in favor ot such “meaty”
affairs as the crisis in South
Africa? Shouldn’t the local
events be properly taken
care of before outside events are
discussed? | would like an answer
to these questions, The Gateway
and Education Executive.
Perhaps you should curb your
own apathy before placing the
blame on the rest of the student
body.

Ed. Note: Your letter has
prompted us to review some past
copies of the Gateway for news
concerning the education facul-
ty. Admittedly, there have been
times when we have neglected to
give prominent coverage of
events affecting education
students, such as the applications
for VP Publicity you mentioned.
We do, however, take exception
to your inference that we do not
cover education. “events.” The
challenge you spoke of was
raised at the students’ council
meeting one day before we
produce the paper. We ran three
stories on that meeting (one on
the management-executive dis-
pute, and two on the SU Task
Force to Examine SU Struc-
ture), which took precedence
over what we decided was a
minor point that we felt would
have already have been discussed
within your faculty. We received
news of the SU’s acceptance of
the challenge the night we put the
paper together. Short notice,
indeed. The challenge was for
money for the Edmonton Christ-
mas Bureau, as stated in the
article, and was issued to all
other faculty associations, as
stated in the article. As for not
covering events concerning
education students, we refer you.

TRIAL
Che Prophet
-by Tehlal Ahmbraghin-
“His power came from some great reservoir of Citric
Acid, else he could not have been so tart and fruity; but
the majesty and the beauty of the language with which
he cloaked it were just re-cyclings of the same old basic
linguistic building blocks.”
And the Master was sitting over a small fire near the
entrance of his cave;
Composing a scroll to the Guardians of the Royal
Treasury of Bala-tur;
Setting forth why he thought they were being
unreasonable about his last tax return;
Explaining thus: “I had a large deficit at the beginning
of last year;
And_ Ihad even a larger deficit at the end of last year.
My income is derived entirely from hoodwinking the
public into believing I can do things which,in reality, I
cannot;
And my true occupation is the performance of various
services to the public, which are thinly-disguised
frauds;
Wherefore should I not declare myself a branch of the
Civil Service and claim tax-exempt status?”
And a group of young women from the’ white towers
of Bala-tur entered the cave; if
And he hastily concealed the scroll;
And they crossed his palm with silver and sat round the
fire and said:
Oh Master, speak to us of Beauty Contests;
For the disciples who are studying to become engineers
have plastered the halls of the white towers with
contest posters bearing photographs of chicks;
And yea, though we have suffered much chickenshit
from the engineers;
This “chick” chickenshit is truly a vexation to the
spirit;
And though we can understand the engineers, for they
are among the “trainable retarded”; .
Yet we cannot understand our sisters for allowing
themselves to be judged like oxen or swine or mince —
pies;
7For. thus they do perpetuate the myth that all chicks are
property of men - to be owned or Sampled 2 as men
‘ _ choose, aie oh » aS
And he listened earnestly and considered their words
carefully before he spoke, saying:
You perceive that this beauty contest is the old “divide
and conquer”trick;
And hence you criticize your sisters too harshly;
But consider the long and noble history of the beauty
contest and you will learn that it is you - their sisters -
that they serve, and not the whimsy of men;
For there was a time when the world was young and
there were no beauty contests;
And in those days the people lived in fear of evil
pirates;
Barbarians whose major pastimes were killing,
pillaging, and raping (not necessarily in that order);
Things were bad enough most of the time, but the
situation was black indeed when the pirates held their
“Fun Festival” once a year;
For they would stage a BOOTY CONTEST and each
pirate would sail forth, a-killing, a-pillaging, and a-
raping;
And at the end of a month, they would all return to
port with chests of loot and the pirate with the fullest
chest was declared the winner;
The prize being a cute little black and white flag which
__ was sewed together by Gloria, the mistress ok one of the
pirates, for just this purpose;
And which signified that the pirate who flew it from his
mast was the world champion killer, pillager, and
rapist.
Now it came to pass that one year, when Gloria was
sewing together the little flag, she got to thinking about
all the poor women who were going t6 be killed and
~ pillaged and raped just so that some pirate could hang
this little piece of cloth on his mast;
And she called together the mistresses of the other
pirates to see if she could raise a little consciousness
instead of a little flag;
And one of the mistresses agreed with Gloria and said:
“Tf all they want is full chests to compare, why don’t we
offer them ours?”
And the idea was quickly accepted and the details Were
worked out:
Each mistress would get her pirate to enter her in the
Booty Contest and the pirate whose mistress had the
fullest chest would get to fly the black and wits flag
_ from his mast;
And Gloria sewed up a different black and white flag -
one with a skull and crossbones on it- very macho, so
the pirates would think it was a big deal.
Now many scrolls have been written about how the
Royal Navy brought the age of piracy to an end;
But do not believe it, my chicklets; it was the search for
the fullest chest; for the Booty Contest became the
Beauty Contest and Gloria sewed up so many little
flags that she had to get eyeglasses, so successful was
her idea;
And much killing and pillaging and rapine was
avoided, and since the pirates stayed home during their
yearly “Fun Festivals” they begat a lot of little pirates;
Whose descendents, like their forefathers carry on the
chest quest and search about constantly for new
booties;.
And hold beauty contests every year, wherever they
But it ‘Reene them from going out and killing aad
pillaging and raping;
So you chicks should thank your sister chicks, and sing
their praises, for thus do they serve you and all
chickenhood.
And Alma, who had been graphing the results of her
rat liver experiment at the rear of the cave, became
captivated by this monologue, and bit by bit she had
drawn nearer to the fire to listen as he spake;
And she stood there shaking her head, and finally she
spoke, saying:
Honest to Allah! Iwish you could hear the garbage
that comes out of your mouth sometimes!
And he shooed her quickly to the back of the cave,
saying through his teeth;
Don’t knock it kid! It pays for your 18-Hour Playtexes
and your ranch minks.
And he returned to his guests to see if they had any
more questions;
And one of the chicks by the fire asked:
Are you saying Beauty Contests are a good thing?
To which he nodded,“Yes.”
And are you saying there is no reason for us to worry?
And the Master replied: Not exactly;
For as long as it was only maids and mistresses in the
booty contests and the only things being compared
were full chests, things were well in hand, so to speak;
But now that chicks are entering beauty contests, some_
son-of-a-pirate is going to suggest a Clucking and
Laying Contest! is
Poor Gloria’s eyesight may have been lost in vain!
And they nodded sadly, for they could see that hard
times might come upon them;
And one of them said, slowly:
So...there’s nothing wrong with Beauty Contests... af
chicks would just stay out of them.
And he smiled and replied:
ae SAID it, lady!

Teacher unemployment in Alberta
Calgary CUP
The employment rate of
teachers who graduated from the
University of Calgary in 1977 is
low, and dropping elementary
enrolment will not improve job
opportunities in Alberta in the
future.
Only 20% of the 508
graduates interviewed by the
Calgary School Board. were
hired, according to figures from
Dr. Palson of the personnel
office. Of the total intervied, 38
were hired for secondary school
positions, 61 for elementary
schools, and 2 appointed for
special education .
“At the moment, Alberta

school populations will not
increase.” Palson said. “The only
new jobs that will be created will
be those caused by the normal
ten percent turnover rate. There
will be no new positions
created.”
Palson said Calgary and
Alberta will probably have a
shortage of teachers in four years
because of dropping enrolment
in Education.
Education students were
not so optimistic about their
future. “hat ten percent tur-
nover rate includes teachers
transferring from school to
school. This increases the
turnover percentage, but won’t

dent graduating this spring.
There is a shortage of
substitute teachers according to
regular teachers in the Calgary
school system. A 1977 graduate
explained that “Substitute
teachers who are called out once
or twice a week have to look for
other jobs to survive. This allows
the substitute teachers who
remain get more teaching in, but
even they can barely meet their
bills.”
He also pointed out that.
many graduate students have
student loans to repay, and
substitute teaching just doesn’t _

Registrar's burearcracy, form after form
How can a student loose
$105.75 and three courses? Easi-
ly, let the university bureaucracy
handle your affairs and _ it
happens every time, like it or not.
Today, (January 10) I went
about securing the second dis-
bursement of my Canada Stu-
_dent Loan. I went first to the
bank where I received the proper
form, then to the third floor of
the registrar’s office to have the
form validated. I ..mean that’s
what you’re supposed to do,
right? — WRONG!
At the registrar’s office I was
informed that they Would not
validate my disbursement form
because | was no longer a full
time student. Whoa there - hey
buddy, that’s news to me. | mean
sure I’m in the integrated student
teacher program consisting of
three education . practicum
courses and only one education
curriculum instruction course,
but that education curriculum
instruction course is actually a
full term course compressed into
one semester and counts the
same as a full year course — six
credits.
Not true they say; you’ve
dropped three courses, even
received a refund of $105.75 on
the first disbursement of your
student loan. On October
24th/77, says so right here.
I never received no such
refund says I and as faras I know
I’m registered in all my education
practicum courses and my
education curriculum instruc-
tion course — my instructor told
me so!
Nope, says right here you’ve
dropped three courses and
received that refund so before we
validate anything you'll have to
add back on those three courses.
Stunned but not undaunted,
| hurried back to the education
building from whence I had
commenced my quest, and got to
the eighth floor education office
one minute after their noon
closing and was greeted by
silently locked doors. Stomach
grumbling ominously and «still
undaunted I went to the second
floor of the education library to
drown my sorrows in back issue
Sports Illustrated magazines.
One o’clock and with twenty
other hopefuls, I flowed into the
office somewhere near the end of
the line, but as the main educa-
tion office is a huge affair with a
long counter and. many
secretaries, it was not too long
before I was greeted and queried
as to the cause of my distress.
I always have difficulty
explaining my problems, es-
pecially when I don’t understand
them myself. Well you see
somehow | lost three courses and
I don’t know what happened to
them. (1 didn’t explain that until
that morning I had been a
reasonably happy and secure,
albeit penniless, education stu-
dent.) And as far as I knew 1 was
in those courses, even my in-
structor thought so.
Well let’s see here, on here it
is, yes well you’re not in those
courses because you took them
last semester, see ... eight courses
in one semester!
Huh?
Yeah, there you are, they’re
all here all right, all nine courses
and you took eight last semester |
so you have only one now. |
Well that’s not exactly true.
(I know I’m good but I’m not
that good.) So while I grinned
unhappily, and began the tedious
exercise of filling out my course
add form, the secretary began
tracing down the whereabouts of
the three education practicum
courses I’d supposedly taken but
had no knowledge of. Thankful-
ly it was determined that I'd
taken only five courses the
semester before and they were
the ones I remembered taking.
The others had accidently been
listed as being taken then and
that was just a typographical
error -after all. Yes, I was
registered in my three education
practicum courses and it was just
some sort of (macabre) mixup.
Oh great — now what do |
do to get out of this mess?
Oh well yes, just go see Miss
— at the registrar’s office and
she'll fix you up.
Well, thank you for all your
trouble, bye, And hurried back
to the registrar’s office.
After standing behind the
wrong desk for two minutes, |
was directed to the right desk
where | stood trying to look
intelligent for a further five or so
minutes. Then Miss — told me
she would accompany me to the
cashier’s office upstairs where
she would talk to one of the
cashiers and I would get my loan.
to stand at the front of the line
and look more stupid than | felt.
What timing! As soon as my
turn came up my angel of mercy
arrived with my reprieve. Thanks
very much for your trouble, bye!
Oh of course we’ll have to
deduct $105.75 from this to cover
the amount of the refund.
Sure | said.. (Anything,
anything!)
So off to the bank, anxious
for an end and not on the trail of
the missing $105.75.
Oh hello, back again.
Right.
Well yes and you know
there will be a cover charge of
50¢ to cover the cost of transferr-
ing the $105.75 to the registrar’s
office.
That figures.
1 debated whether I would
confess all my _ afternoon’s
frustrations. She had such a
gentle countenance and sym-
pathetic smile. I settled for news
of my $105.75.
What’s
number?
— — says I.
Not there says she. Have
you any other accounts here?
Yeah, a chequing account.
What’s that number?
— — says I.
Wasn’t on your statement?
Not that I know of.
Since I was going to get
your -account
it to me at the door on my way
out.
Oh you mean instead of
$1200, I get $1100 says I.
No, PU explain ‘it to you
later she said.
Okay, so I completed my
business, except that I forgot to
pay my overdue phone bill, and _
went to her desk by the door.
Well here it is, see, the
$105.75 was refunded to you here
and it was deducted from the
total:of your loan so instead of
owing a total of $3210, you owe
only $3105.
In other words, instead of -
receiving $1200 this time, I get
only $1100 says I.
Yes-s says she, smiling sym-
pathetically.
Right. Thanks a lot for your
trouble, bye.

An Interview with Joe Mor
in Canada.
centre of discussion.
Tapscott.
Joe Morris is president of the Canadian Labour Congress
(CLC). In his address to the Convention of the Alberta Federation of
Labour (AFL) in Edmonton, January 18-20, he focused on the need
of labour to strengthen and centralize its power as a national force
and to exert this power through a tripartide committee of labour,
business and government. Such a tripartide proposal would replace
the present collective bargaining system used in labour negotiations
A heated debate on the question of tripartism followed Morris’
speech to the AFL and despite a spirited defence of the concept,
delegates voted against it by a margin of 279 to 220.
x At the upcoming CLCconvyention in April of 1978, the issues of
| tripartism, national unity,-labour’s relationship to the NDP and
labour’s strategy to fight unemployment and inflation will be at the
Morris will step down as president at that time..He was
interviewed immediately after a pressconference that followed his
address to the AFL convention, January 20, for the Gateway, by Don
Tapscott, 30, is presently writing his master’s thesis in research
methodology. He has been involved with labour organizations for
some years now and was a socialist condidate in theEdmonton
mayorality race in September of the last year.
Gateway: This morning in your speech
to the convention you outlined the
deteriorating situation facing most
working people. You gave some
statistics — inflation is at 9.5 percent
and_ rising: unemployment is at 8.5
percent and the Conference Board of
-Canada just predicted that it also will
rise in ’78. But you said that the statistics
don't tell the whole story. What did you
mean by that?
Morris: Well, people talk so much about
statistics, that we forget they are
referring to the real lives of real human
beings who are suffering deeply because
of the economic crisis of this country. If
you don’t know an unemployed person,
to you it’s just a figure on a piece of
paper. The only time unemployment is
visible, is when it’s a friend, a neighbour
or a relative who is unemployed or it you
live in a small mining town or small
lumber town, for example, where the
market is bad, and everybody is un-
employed. There are places. in this
country where, in’ some towns and
villages, unemployment runs over 80
percent. Now that’s a real stark view of
unemployment. But-you see, in the big
cities and bigger communities un-
employed people tend to hide
themselves, because most of us in this
country have grown up with the protes-
tant work ethic, where an idle person is
an evil person. And because people hide
the fact, we believe the unemployment
situation is much worse than people
understand. It’s not visible except in
certain areas. People have become
hardened. Like, what’s the difference
between 9 and 9.5 percent unemploy-
ment? They don’t realize that the extra
.5 percent is another 50,000 people.
Gateway: This morning you said wage
controls were. simply a crude and
arbitrary way of destroying the collec-
tive bargaining process. Now, in addi-
- tion to inflation eating away at the
standard of living of working people,
there is massive and growing unemploy-
ment. What does the CLC plan to do
over the next while to change this
situation?
Morris: We have a big program un-
derway identifying the problem of
unemployment in the community. We
are trying to put a human face on
unemployment. We’re trying to show
unemployment is a pervasive thing in
the economy. It is something that is just
not going to go away. It’s here, and its
going to be with us for a long time. As
long as our government pursues the
policies it is pursuing, which is slowing
down the economy, and as long as we
are growing at a rate less than 5.5
percent, the unemployment problem
will increase. To even start to hold our
own, we have to grow at a rate greater
than five percent. And if we are going to
eliminate the unemployment problem
we are going to have to start growing at
more than a rate of 5.5 percent. That’s
‘even to start to break the unemployment
problem.

Gateway: But concretely, what plans -
does the CLC have to start to combat
this problem?
Morris: Well, after we have finished our
studies about the situation we are going
to compile what we have done and place
it. before the government with, our
suggestions of how we would like to
tackle the problem.
Gateway: Okay, skipping back a bit,
after the labour national day of protest,
~ of October 14, the press reported the
event as a~ big flop; that it hadn’t
succeeded in realizing any of the
objectives the labour movement had
outlined. Do you agree with the media’s
interpretation of the event?
Morris:Of course not. | feel the protest
was a great success. To get over one
million people out in the short time we
had — the logistics of such a thing are
fantastic — ours is a large country,
countries in Europe would have had
nowhere near the problem we had in
organizing a national protest, and as a
matter of fact, we exceeded all of our
expectations. I predicted the highest
percentage. of people but even I was
under the actual amount of, what the
results were. But here again, people play
the numbers game. They think, well,
they only got 50 % of their people out.
Remember, this was the first time in the
history of this country that anyone tried
an exercise in politicaldissent. It was not
a strike, because we weren’t striking
against an employer. What we were
doing was exercising political dissent in
order to bring home to the people the
depth of our feelings with respect to
wage and price controls. And it’s a very
strange thing: what we said on the day
that wage and price controls were
initiated is now being repeated by many
people in the business community and
by many economists. We have not
swung around to the belief that the wage
and price controls not only have not
‘done the job for which they were
intended, but they have in effect been a
drag on the economy and have slowed
down .any possible move towards
recovery. And this, of course, has been
the case in other places where they kept
controls on too long.
Gateway: Will we see any other actions
like October 14 in the future?
Morris: Well, 1 don’t know, it would
depend on circumstances. | think the
fact that we have demonstrated that it
can be done is something that the
powers to be should take their graces of.
It may be a very different sort of
demonstration in future.

TRUFFAUT

Gateway: Rosemary Spears of the
Toronto Star says you are writing a
series of position papers which revitalize
‘the tripartite proposals for the CLC
convention. Is this true?
Morris: Well, 1don’t know where Rosey
gets her information from. It is true that
I am preparing a series of papers but I
don’t write papers in justification of
anything, I am preparing policy papers
which will go to our convention, which
will broaden the element of the policies
and which will enlarge upon certain
aspects of policy which we heretofore
have not enlarged upon.
Gateway: This morning you. quite
energetically defended tripartism. But
as you know, considerable opposition to
tripartism has developed within the
labour movement since the last CLC

union just voted. against it in its
Vancouver national convention. The
Canadian Union of Postal Workers
opposes it, as do other unions. Louis
Laberge, one of the new/y-won op-
ponents of .triprtism has argued that he
opposes a _ partnership or formal
collaberation with business, govern-
ment and labour because it would
always be a case of two versus one —
that is business and government versus
labour. (Louis Laberge is:the president
of the Quebec Federation of Labour)
Morris: That’s nonsense. Monsier Le
‘Berge attended a. so-called summit
meeting between the syndicate de
patrionale, the Levesque government
and himself. You know it’s this sort of
thing that bothers me — when some of
these people publicly take a position
against tripartism and yet they’re in-
volved in it at the provincial level. And
at conventions like this it’s easy to get
people to vote against things especially
if you don’t tell them both sides of the
story. If you tell them both sides of the
story, its sometimes a different thing.
Gateway: In the Agenda for Action
drafted at the CUPE convention, it says
that supporting tripartism tends to
mean that labour has given up all hope
of a labour-oriented government com-
ing to power. Have you given up hope of
seeing the NDP elected?
Morris; That’s a lot of nonsense. There
has been tripartite machinery in Austria
before they ever had a socialist govern-
ment and they had it in Germany before
they had a socialist government. It was
brought into Sweden under a minority
socialist government. So it’s not
necessary to havea socialist government
to bring it in. I hold the view that it

might be better in the long run to bring
that mechanism in under the present
government other than a socialist
government because then there would
be no tampering with the kinds of rules
and regulations. You would have no
feeling of sympathy for the government.
There would be a push to get the tightest
guidelines and regulations regarding the
mechanism’s operations under a
government that is not socialist. I don’t
buy the theory that just because you
have a socialist government they will do
everything that you want, because after
all, they have to govern all of the people
regardless. And we have always said
that while we aspire as a political party
we don’t want special interest govern-
ment, because all of the others — the
Conservatives, Liberals, Social Credit
— have. all been special interest
governments and we have not benefited
from them and we don’t want that sort
of thing to happen with a governmentef
our own because see what’s happening
in Manitoba. All of the good work that
the New Democratic government did
there is now being undone by the right
wing Conservative government. They
are firing people right and left, they are
dismantling the social security changes
that were put in, and so forth.
Gateway: You've mentioned some oj the
Western European countries, yet in
your talk this morning you were critical
of the kinds of collaborative models
which have been established in Scan-~
danavia, West Germany and Sweden. In
fact, you said that labour leaders in
those countries would prefer to have the
kind of collective bargaining which we:
have; or at least had before controls, in
Canada. How would you see tripartism
in Canada being different?
Morris: Well, the whole genesis of the
idea is different. It’s based on a
development that would take place and
would oversee certain functions within
the structure, a key one of which would
be a labour market board responsible
for reporting through a minister to the
government and would also have the
power to publish. For example, if the
government said it wasn’t going to
accept its advice, the board would have
the right to put its advice before the
public regardless — ina manner that the
Economic Council does at the present
time, and | think the very nature of this
structure being forced to report, to
parliament, being given certain
definitive tasks, and with an indepen-
dent research capability, that it would
have much more influence and it would
not be involved in the collective bargain-

there are differences in stand rather than

Gateway: There has been substantial
criticism of the NDP since the introduc-
tion of controls. One point of view was
that raised by Jean Claude Perrault,
who at a labour day speech in Hamilton
questioned whether or not the NDP is
really a labour party and that perhaps a
more genuinely labour-orientated and

that is not limited to trade union people,
it covers a wide spectrum of Canadian
society. And for any party to be viable
within the Canadian parlimentary
context, it must cover a wide spectrum
of Canadian society.
Gateway: Some NDP leaders such as Ed
Broadbent have said the proposals for
tripartism tend to lead the labour
movement away from the party. Do you
accept that?
Morris: They just don’t understand.
They have made very shallow judge-
ment of what is in the manifesto. The
manifesto is a very concentrated, strong

policy paper. I think if it has any real
fault it is that we wrote it too tightly. We
didn’t give enough explanation of what
we were at all, but then in the trade
union movement you expect that people
will understand when you put a trade
union policy out — you expect that they
will understand what the trade union
policy is about — but I suppose if we
hadn’t introduced the idea, tripartism
would have got no flak. I suppose I
know more about tripartism and how it
Operates than anybody in Canada,
because I operate at the international
level. I operate in the tripartite structure
and I see the value of it, I see how it
works, I see how it can be beneficial.
When you write papers, you expect and
believe that other people will unders-
tand them. Obviously, I was working on
a different track than what they were but
I think that there is no misunderstan-
ding of it now, that it is not really viewed
in many places with the same sort of
horror that it was viewed with-
before.
Gateway: Finally, I'd like to ask you,
about the labour point of view on
national unity. As I’m sure you're
aware, a number of unions have taken a
position in support of the right of
Quebec to decide it’s own future,
including to separate free from any
forms of coersion from English Canada.
These include Auto, Steel and Postal
workers along with CUPE. Louis
Laberge ‘has. said he’s going to wage
“war” within the labour movement to
win it-to support the right of Quebec
alone to determine its future. Tf such a
motion comes up at the CLC conven-
tion would yousupport it?’ The CLC
convention will be held in April. )
Morris: ?m sure we’d have an in-
teresting discussion. I’d be very in-
terested to hear it.
Gateway: But what would your position
on such a motion be?
Morris: | suppose my position will come
out at the Congress. Yes, I have some
views, but I intend to discuss them
internally within the movement. It’s too
close to a convention for me to be
prognasticating about what should be
the policy of the Congress with respect
to the question of national unity,
excecpt to say that the Congress is
commited to a united Canada.

The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra’s concert
this past weekend ended in a triumph for Maestro
Pierre Hetu. His reading of the Brahms First
Symphony was one of the most exciting and satisfying
performances of a really big masterpiece the ESO has
yet given us. Hetu firmly grasped the structure of this
very architectural work but never did the dramatic or
emotional aspects suffer as a result. From the strong,
alert opening to the blazing coda the performance had
precisely that inevitability which the ESO’s Beethoven
Fifth lacked last week. One particular passage in the
Brahms where many conductors fail to tighten the
screws is the meno Allegro (last 17 measures) of the first
‘movement, but Hetu’s horn and tympani relentlessly
maintained the tension.
Strings were excellent, rich and passionate in the
big. moments, and only occasionally were they
drowned out in brass passages. Their dynamic control
in the fourth movement’s. pizzicati sections was
electrifying. The horn ‘and first violin’s concerted
passage in the second movement’s climax was power-
ful} Keene’s playing being especially full-bodied.
The trio of the scherzo, in keeping with Hetu’s
quasi-Toscanini approach, was more menacing than
usual, and the full brass before the opening grazioso
returns was big and agitated.
But the final movement is the real test in this
Symphony because. it goes through such astonishing
and abrupt changes in mood, and to pronounce the
triumphant ending too soon is to rob the final pages of
their conclusive power. Hetu, even after the music was
clearly moving towards light, still fully expressed the
doubts which arise in brief introspective moments,
while some conductors tend to ride comfortably over
them, thus making them insignificant.
It was a splendidly sustained performance, and at
the tumultuous applause the orchestra declined from
standing in order that Hetu could have a solo bow.
Some players even joined in the applause.
It was a splendid ending to what was an uneven
concert. Danses Concertantes, the first work, is one of
Stravinsky’s most appealing. It is purely abstract music
and even though it should evoke the dance, Stravinsky
meant it strictly for the concert hall and was not happy
with any of the ballets devised for it. Much of the
work’s delight resides in its intricate rhythms and
syncopation which are, alas, formidable to play. I had
.
The View from Left Centre
edmonton symphony orchestra
the feeling the players were all counting like mad, and
the work sounded tense, careful and cold, rather than
charming and tuneful in an acrid way. Brass notes
weren’t clean in the work’s opening bars, nor at the
fourth variation’s opening in the Theme Varie. There’s
a lovely tune in the first violins halfway through the
Pas de Deux which almost swings, but the ESO played
it squarely and deadpan. Not to belabour it, the sense
of the dance never came across clearly. No doubt the
work needs considerable rehearsal time, and one week
isn’t long enough. (There are usually- two or three
weeks between concerts.) Inany event their handling of
Brahms’ tricky rhythms was like a different organiza-
tion.
The evening’s soloist was Jaime Laredo, the
Bolivian violinist who now residés in the U.S. He
played Mozart’s Third Violin Concerto, K. 216. Laredo
is a Musician’s musician and plays Mozart better than
most of his colleagues because he has the absolute
technical control and the inward quality necessary. His
tone is sweet and firm, passionate but scaled for I8th-
century music.
The second movement is probably the loveliest
written by the young Mozart (he was then 19), and
Laredo played it as pure song. I’ve never heard anyone
control this movement so sweetly without making it
cloying. The movement’s end was breathtaking in its
hushed serenity. :
The Rondo finale was played delicately but
playfully by Laredo although he took several descen-
ding runs roughly (like Heifetz does for dramatic
effect) which clashed with his patrician interpretation.
But this is a small quibble in what was a very fine
performance.
At titaes-the orchestra strove for a larger, more
dramatic approach which created a disparity once
Laredo entered. Since the orchestra played without the
ultimate crispness or classicism wanted, one had to
enjoy Laredo ‘out of context’ sometimes.
The~ first movement’s cadenza was by. Ernst’
Frank, a minor 19th century German conductor/com-
poser. The other two short cadenzas were Laredo’s
own. His encore on Friday was a gavotte from the
unaccompanied Third Partita of Bach. In his clarity of
tone and command of the work’s inner life he showed
again what a true and admirable musician he is.
RECORDINGS
Laredo’s recording of the Mozart is top-notch,
and backed with the Bach A-minor concerto. It’s on
RCA Victrola, hard to get in Canada. Oistrakh with
the Philharmonica (Angel), and Loveday with
Marriner and St. Martins-in-the-Field (Argo) are also
excellent. The Stravinsky is delightfully played by
Colin Davis and the English Chamber Orchestra
(L’Oiseau Lyre). Brahms’ First-has many fine prac-
titioners. My favourite is the old Toscanini, on RCA
Victrola with the three other symphonies of Brahms.
All are great performances, and this is a landmark
recording (4 Ips). If stereo is a must try the Kertesz
version (London), Loughran (Classics for Pleasure,
budget label), or Haitink (beautifully played, and fine
sound) on Philips.

Guitar, dobro and mean mandolin...
Holger phoned me last week and told me I should
interview the Dillards if | wanted. Well I’ve got many
fond memories of the Dillards from when they made-
appearances at the Hovel, sol said it would be OK with
me. When | went down to the interview I found I had
Rodney Dillard and Dean Webb to talk to. Rodney
plays guitar and dobro real well.and is the lead singer in
_ the band, and Dean plays mean mandolin.
Artists like the Dillards are interesting in terms of
the record business, popularity and such because they
often don’t record for big labels, and even when they
have, don’t usually receive the promotion that a big
label is capable of giving a band. Word of mouth and
other such low-level marketing takes place and such
artists seem able to build a following, sell records and
sustain their popularity more so than those who ride
record company publicity machines. The interview:
starts off with that in mind.
KL: What’s your popularity like over the continent? Is
it regional or is it prettv widespread?
DW: I think its fairly widespread. We play all over
the country and various clubs and areas we go back to,
we do build a following ... like I say, a club like the
Cellar Door in Washington, D.C. — you build a
following and they come to see you. I can see it happen:
You go there and its the first time you go and you go
the second time and its better than the first. And so on
from there. So you do build in an area.
KL: Do you prefer to play a standing gig for a week or
two weeks? $
DW: No we hardly ever do that. We prefer to do one-
nighters, really. We do very few clubs that we do over
say, two.nights. Its rare to do even three nights in one
place though we still do that at the Cellar Door.
KL: You like to travel ...
DW: I can’t see where we really like it, but it doesn’t
really bother us either, you-know, its part of the thing
and you have to travel if you’re doing this. You have to
get around and you have to go to all these areas and see
how your records are doing and talk to various radio
stations, newspaper people, and its all part of the
promo for the product you’re turning out. —
KL: There’s not many people doing that anymore.

Ensemble Vocal
by Bruce Norris
The Ensemble Vocal Michel Gervais will be in
concert this Friday, the 27th of January at College St.
Jean. I recently interviewed the group’s conductor, M.
Michel Gervais, to provide Gateway’s readers with a
better idea of its nature and pursuits.
Formation: The Ensemble began practising in
September of 1976 and now has 16 members. These are
people with musical backgrounds, but not necessarily
as singers.
Goals: To perform “serious” but entertaining
music suitable for such a size of group, keeping high
musical standards. Each piece is sung in its original
language.
Languages: So far, works have been done in
English, French, German, Swedish, Danish, Latin,
Hungarian ... and — Eskimo!
Exposure: The Ensemble took part ina Channel
11 production called “Visage”, and their April ’76
concert was televised nationally by the CBC.
Music Chosen: A variety of styles is the objective
here. Canadian pieces, less-known- works and a good
portion of 20th-century materials are included. This
Friday’s concert includes a work by a local young
composer, Robert Rosen. They’ve also done one by
Violet Archer, who is a professor in the U of A Music
Department.
Support: Two Secretary of State Grants have
been put to good use by the ensemble and they’d love to
sell you a ticket to Friday’s show. They belong to the
Alberta Choral Association.
Immortality: The Ensemble has recorded many of
its rehearsals and concerts but has not yet done a
_ record. -
-A dual function has been and is being served by
the Ensemble: Both the singers and the public are
getting valuable exposure to obscure and very modern
music. There is no more pedantic aim here but an
opportunity to experience intriguing and very different
pounds. for the curious eng thinking listener.
different ideas about the way people think about things
rather than being in one place, one city, it wouldn’t
matter what city it was really. It would be some kind of
a pocket culture situation if you did, just being in one
place all the time.
KL: Do many songs come out of that?
DW: Oh yeah, influences go into the music from all
sorts of means. There’s influences from all sorts of
music. So many of the acts have experimented within
the bluegrass thing with another thing, whatever it is,
and gotten into a music of their own. There’s a lot of
interesting music come out of that sort of bluegrass
school of people. They’re not old school, but the new
school, they’re still a very traditional element. I don’t
even feel that Bill Munro is that traditional anymore
but I think Ralph Stanley probably is more traditional,
he’s sort of the head of the traditional school in
bluegrass ... he still does the real old mournful-type
things about the south and Texas that talks about
death and various things because those things to those
people, that’s the only real statement — their gospel
music is the only real serious comment they make
about anything. I mean Stanley did a song about the
flood in *57’ they had a song about a school bus wreck’
that killed a bunch of children but generally in
bluegrass that’s the only serious statement about
anything, they just don’t get political or whatever. The
rest of its all pretty light. About how mountain girls
can love or bar songs or whatever.
KL: Whiskey songs, dog songs ...
DW: Yeah, some of them would do that ... but Munro
you see would never do bar songs. He was anti that
element (drinking) so that was out. But a lot of the
groups got into Flatt and Scruggs, Reynold Snyder got
into the drinking songs ... you know its a value thing
what they thought was a valid beef to make a song
about. We always tried to stay away froma lot of that
sort of stuff, the triangle songs. We thought that was
well enough covered by other groups,.that it was a little
shoddy for us todo. We didn’t respect that that much,
thinking it had already been done. We’ve done a lot of
"dog songs, drinking, well you know drinking, from the
standpoint of making whiskey. Things that relate to
Ozark culture. You’re associated with a region and
people expect you to have something in your repertoire
about stills, whiskey. Ok, but one song pretty much
covers it.
KL: You were talking about getting a single together,
what kind of plans have you got for that? I’m talking
about the position of the band — it’s never really been a
commercial .
it on.
RD: Success?
KL: Well, its been a success but hever on AM radio.
RD: I would like to have a hit record, its just that I
don’t know if I’d like to use the Dillards as the guinea
pig to do that. I may. All-I can do is cut what the
Dillards are believable in doing and hope that there is
something that could-be a single. That can happen ...
but I also like the idea of going out to get a single and
cutting a record that is oriented for commercial
purposes.
KL: Is there still any regionalism in AM radio?
RD:No. Because of the trade magazines and the media
everybody follows the trends. You know how
communications are. | think you can still have an R &
B hit and not make it on the top 40, but as far as
regional hits, they happen, but its not like it used to be
because everybody’s playing about what the leaders
are. It’s all fast bucks now, corporate music, corporate
rock ...
KL: Mass culture ...
RD: Just the independent free-form stations and_
people with balls enough to play music they like (give
anything that isn’t trendy a chance). Course that
doesn’t make it necessarily good but at least they have
the freedom of choice. Everybody’s just plugged into
the main artery, their tastes are governed by the people
who see figures on paper rather than anything else.
KL: Have you ever tried Europe?
RD: Yeah, we were over there this spring, fora month
doing one-nighters. We’re going back in the fall,
Brussels, France, Holland, Germany and we're trying
to get a thing up to go to Japan and Australia.
KL: Are you selling many records in Europe?
RD: Well, you know what? Evidently we sold enough
records in Europe for Elektra to re-release a composite
of all our albums on one album and they never do that
unless you’ve sold some records. Relative to our
success we’re selling records in Europe pretty straight
— we're not selling millions, but we’re selling enough
to be successful for the label. Being on a small label you
can be a bigger frog than on a large label, where if you
don’t sell a hundred downs they drop you the next day.
KL: Do you write much of your own material?
RD: We used to, we still write but we don’t necessarily
record because I’m a believer in everything we write
being not valid enough to record. But I don’t feel that if ©
I don’t think the thing is valid for an album I won’t put

by Wayne Kondro
Seems all of the characters in the Glenn Rollans
play Touched are slightly touched. A veritable picture
of domestic bliss is interrupted by a walk-on TV
repairman, who momentarily has Jackie under his
belt, before biting the dust to the wiles of the television
set.
Doubtless, playwright Rollans would rather we
focus on the psyches of the married couple. The wife,
Jackie, vacillates (among others) between the
domineering mop-up-the-floor-after-her-little-boy
mother (this does happen), the tough-bitch-lady (for a
split second | thought she should be holding a whip)
and the bleary eyes-in-the-sky romantic bemusingly
ignoring and succumbing to the wiles of her childlike
husband, Dale. As for the husband he is alternately,
childlike, a war-hero, a dreamer, half a drag queen, a
display piece and a coward, He is accidentally aware of
Jackie’s susceptibility (but does not exploit it) and
timorously representative of the tragic absurdity of life
(sic) if only through his sense of insecurity.
What to do. If playwright Rollans had developed
the possibilities for inanity and/or insanity the play
would truly have been of enigmatic duality. It’s too bad
~ but I suspect the duality of the title-theme is meant to
be the electrocution and the momentary touching of
: Playwriting:
bullet, but to bite on
Jackie’s emotion by the travelling repairman. I’m not
sure whether the please-pity-me story of some sort of
physical attraction brought it on but Jackie’s
emotional constitution is only charged for a moment
before being jolted by the return of her husband. Yet,
at this point, rather than a transition into tough-take-
charge-bitch, all is docility. The repairman soon gets
his charge and the play ends with Jackie bitching about
yet another worry, (the dead body).
It’s difficult to say whether the play would have
been improved with the electrocution occurring early,
as Rollans seems acutely aware of the particular
reaction we have to every situation, or whether better
left as is, leaving the obviously desired dramatic ending
intact.
The performances were surprisingly good.
Watching Marianne Copithorne, as Jackie, you
wonder how she manages to incite the extremes, but
she somehow does so. Stephen Holgate, as Dale, easily
does so and gives a most commendable performance.
Douglas Newell leaves us with the i impression of the’
character we are meant to have.
Allin all, U of A student Glenn Rollans deservesa |
good round of applause for his efforts. The audience
(75 plus) enjoyed it and | am sure join me in extending.
congratulations and best wishes to all of Rollans’
ene eavours :

It was dark and rainy this
past weekend in Vancouver. The
sort of weather perfect for
‘funerals. And the Golden Bear
hockeyteamwitnessed thedeathoi
their 14 game winning streak as
they lost two tough games to the
T-Birds.
Friday night the T-Birds
outchecked the Bears during the
first two periods and hung on for
a 4-3 win, but on Saturday a
couple of bad bounces for the
Bears propelled the shaky UBC
team to a 6-5 overtime win.
They were the best two back
to back college games this writer
has witnessed since the famous
75-76 national championship
series between the Toronto Blues
and the Bears.
Two brawls in the third
period must have given UBC a
lift as they scored two goals only
seconds after the play had
resumed. Jim Stuart scored the
winner at 16:44, only 10 seconds
after Ted: Poplawski had been in
a skirmish with “Badman” Tom
Blaney.
Stuart’s goal was his third of
the night; only a minute earlier
he had tied up the game (this
occured eight seconds after a
huge donnybrook).
Dave Breakwell had been
the bright spot for Alberta up
until the fights as he scored all
three Alberta goals, two of them
coming on = great
efforts. The shifty center had
defensemen standing in shock at
the blueline as he put ona display
of moves that defies description.
Ted Poplawski was outstan-
ding in the nets, stopping 35
shots as opposed to 30 for UBC
goaler Ron Paterson.
“It was an inspired win,”
said an excited Bert Haliwell, the
individual
UBC coach..““We changed our
forechecking system and it work-
ed well to offset the better skaters
on the Alberta club.”
Peter Moyls scored the
other UBC goal early in the
game. Jim Carr was stopped ona
breakaway with 49 seconds left
on the clock. Coach Clare Drake
commented that two defensive
errors late in the game had
turned it around for UBC.
Saturday’s game was a
spectator’s delight, a thrilling 6-5
victory for a UBC team that was
badly outplayed by the Bears.
The turning point of the
game occured with 3:44 left in the
third period as the puck
something along the boards and
shot out in front of Jack Cum-
mings. Derek Williams shot it in
and made it 4-4. The Bears had
been leading 4-1 early in the third
period, but two goals resulting

Despite crippling iniedcs
and a rampaging flu bug, the
Bears basketball team limped
home from Saskatchewan with a
split in their weekend series.
Playing without the services of
‘Brent Patterson and Pat Rooney
(leg injuries) and with Mike
Abercrombie, Ludwig Ernst and
Al Speer slowed by the flu bug,
coaches Gary Smith and Tom
‘Bishop were hard pressed to
dress 10 players.
Early in Friday night’s
contest the Bears were hurt when
forward Colin Fennell was forc-
ed to the bench with a badly
trom lost faceoffs put UBC back
in the contest.
It was the loss of the faceoff
possessions that irked coach
Clare Drake the most and he
pinpointed them as a major
factor in the outcome of the
game.
Jim Causgrove was the best
forward on the ice for the Bears,
despite the fact he dinged one off
the post at 19:57 of the third
period. He scored one himself,
assisted on two others, and made
his presence known in the cor-
ners.
Jack Cummings played one
of his best games of the year, but
he got the bad bounces on the
important goals in the third
period.

overtime goal for UBC ona great

Bears split
bruised shoulder. With a loss of'
manpower the Bears were forced
away from the pressing game and ~
played for the most part man-to-
man defense. The Bears were
hurt inside by big Roger Gaines
who seemed to dominate the
_ boards at the both ends of the
floor, scoring 23 points. Bear big
men could only reply with 17
points between three of them.
Bob Baker and Mike Aber-
crombie player very strong
games, however, and the Bears
managed to keep the score close
as a result of Albercrombie’s fine
outside shooting. With 12
seconds left the Bears were up by
one point but fouled Roger
Gaines who promptly dropped in
both of his rebounds. In the last
12 seconds the Bears had three
defenseman and fed Shykova in
the slot.
Lane Lavik, Dick Jellema,
Stuart Jones and Williams
scored the other UBC goals. Jim
Carr had a pair for Alberta, with
John Devaney, Causgrove and
Jim Lomas getting singles.
It appeared the game was
safe when John Devaney scored
in a scramble after some hard
work by Causgrove in front of
the net, but the last four minutes
of the game were filled with end
to end rushes.
UBC coach Bert Halliwell
stated: “It was another inspired
win; I’m sure the crowd made the
difference tonight. We’ve really
come together as a team since
Christmas.”
He went on to add that he
thought his goaltender kept them
in the game during the last period
and in overtime as the Bears
with lowly
shots, but unfortunately the ball
popped out all three times.
Mike Abercrombie led the
Bears with 24 points and Keith
Smith hit for 21 points. Wayne
Bishop, a mediocre player on a
less than mediocre team, canned
21 points. The Bears managed
only 12 defensive rebounds in the
game.
Saturday night the Bears
came out strong, forcing Gaines
and high scoring forward Stu
Bauck into early foul trouble.
Colin Fennell returned to action,
but the flu got the best of
Abercrombie, who crawled to
the bench after seven minutes
and 14 points. Bob Baker again
came off the bench and con-
tributed significantly to a 40-34
halftime lead.

THE BEAR FACTS: The win
puts the T-Birds in second spot
with a 9-5 record, still 10 points
behind the Bears (14-2). Calgary
sits in third spot with a 5-11
mark, while the Sask. Huskies
are in their perpetual cellar
position with two wins in 14
games.
Mike Broadfoot suffered a
concussion Friday and is still

sweep the weekend games with Saskatchewan.

Pandas sweep series with overtime win
The University of Alberta
Panda basketball team escaped
from Saskatoon Saturday night
with two victories and renewed
playoff hopes. The Pandas,
utilizing their superior height,
were able to wean down the
spirited, aggressive Huskiettes
and come out on the top side of
73-55 and 54-50 scores.
Friday night’s game,
w perhaps the-best effort of the
season, saw a close first half with
Pandas taking control in the
final minute for a six point half-
time lead. The Panda 1:2: 1:1 full-
court zone press. proved
devastating for Sask. as the
Pandas stretched their lead to 57-
43 after 10 minutes in the second
half. The last 10 minutes saw the
Pandas substitute treely and
streak to the 73-55 victory.
Janet Bosscha and Trix
Kannekens both played a strong
game on the boards and con-
tributed 23 and 17 points respec-
tively.
In a poorly played, scrappy
game Saturday night the Pandas
found the’ going much tougher
with borderline Junior High
School officiating — the game,
at times, resembled a rugby
match.
The Pandas were victims
not only of the officiating, but
also poor passing and shot
selection. At the half both teams
were mired in a 23-23 tie. The
second half saw little improve-
ment for the Pandas, causing
Pandas must surge
Volleyball Pandas went into
the competition with high hopes
y’and came out knowing that it
takes more than high hopes to
win a tourname * At the U. of
C. Invitational on the weekend,
Pandas finished a somewhat
disappointing 7th in the 15-team
women’s divison. UBC won the
tournament, defeating
Kindersley of Saskatchewan in
the final.
There were good things.
Debbie Ophus and Nancy
Hawkes came up with steady
setting performances, and there
was-some powerful hitting by
Laurie Couzens. The Pandas
were able to use the quick attack
successfully, though not yet with
gsufficient frequency. In addition,
Lori Landry and Alyson Roper
showed that they are capable
middle block-hitters.
Coaches ‘Val Hunt’ and
Betty Baxter are optomistic. “We
definitely have difficulty main-
taining push throughout a
match,” stated Hunt. “It may be
an attitude thing or it may be
inability to concentrate.” Seven
of the twelve players are first year
and concentration or “mental
power” takes time to devlop.
“Volleyball is a psychological
game,” Hunt continued, “How
else do you explain a team like U
of S winning a game 15-2, then
- losing the next one 0-15?”
Pandas have their backs
this weekend to Victoria for the
second Canada-West _ inter-
collegiate competition. If they
are to keep a hold on their 2nd
place standing, they must win
two or three of their four
matches.
many unsettled moments for
coach Debbie Shogan. With five
minutes remaining both pivots
for the Pandas, Trix Kannekens
and Janet Bosscha, had fouled ,
out to be followed two minutes
later by point guard Karen
Johnson. The Panda bench came
out strong, however, creating a
48-48 stalemate at the buzzer.
In the overtime the Pandas
jumped to an early four point
lead and were able to maintain a
close margin:due largely to
missed foul jshots by the
Huskiettes who were 0 for 5 from
the free throw line in the last two
minutes.
Coach Shogan was pleased
with the win, but found Satur-
day’s game “very frustrating”
due largely to the officiating.
“We saw the results of a little
mental preparation,” best summ-
ed up Shogan’s thoughts on the
weekend.
Trix Kannekens and Lori
Chizik each had 12 points for the
Pandas with Nancy Spencer and
Gail Braithwaite putting in
strong performances.

On Sunday, Jan. 15 16th the
U A. team Handball Pandas
defeated the Edmonton Canucks
15-llina game marred by incon-
sistent and downright confusing
officiating. However both teams
managed to endure the mediocri-
ty and play a highly entertaining
game. The Pandas were charged
upind aggressive at the start of
the game controlling the ball well
on offense and setting up sure
goals by good _ heads-up
playmaking. Playing an
aggressive 6-0 defense, the Pan-
das caused quite a few turnovers
which were immediately
capitalized on for fast-break
goals.
Saturday. Eleven men’s and six
women’s teams competed. The
events lasted longer than usual
because the matches were run
round-robin to make it possible
to compute individual standings.
The placings were decided by a
fencer’s wins throughout the day. —
In the case of a tie, indicators
(total number of hits scored
minus total number received)
were used. There was a two-way
tie for third place in women’s foil
and a four-way tie for second in
men’s foil. The importance of
having good indicators leads to
keener competition for each hit
because a fencer is not only
anxious to win his/her bouts, but
also to win them decisively.
